individuals who would pass for any thing between book canvasser and a tramp. You would have said at a glance that he lived on his wits, granted that he had any wits to live on, which looked doubtful, ill the face of his dilapidated air. His red nose told story-the old, yet ever new story, entitled "Gin." Giving a cau- tious look 'round to see that there were no dogs loose, he boldly shuflled up to the front door, accosting my housemaid thus:
 "Boss in?"
 "Master is in, but he don't want any"
 She was about to slam the door in his face, but he firmly wedged his foot between the door and the step, and said
 Sweet fairy of the scrub- brush and nymph of the slop-pail, never said you did want any, and even supposing that were the case, you would not get any, for haven't any to sell. Please tell your estimable and virtuous en- ployer that I wish to see him on bus mess that brooks of no delay-a mat ter of life and death."
 Maybe it was being addressed as sweet fairy" and "nymph," or mayb it was his plea that it was "a matter of life and death;" anyhow, Mary Ann asked him into the parlor and bade him sit down, which he did, after carefully wiping his boots on my best brussels carpet. It was here that found him few moments afterwards in the act of unloading tin box which appeared fo be filled with phials containing a mud colored fluid.
 "Morn'n, sir. Pardon this intru- sion from perfect stranger, but have heard of you and your trouble"
 "Trouble? What trouble?"
 "Liver complaint"
 "I don't understand you. I never suffered from liver complaint in my life."
 "Is that so? We'll, I never. Ain't your name Botts?"
 "NO, that is not my name."
 "I must have made a mistake, then. Nevertheless, pardon me, sir, but have heard of your trouble. That flushed countenance, that ruddy nose, that troubled look. Dyspepsia, sir. is your bane."
 "Don't know what you mean. Dys- pepsia has never troubled me-"
 "You don't say sop Amt your name Migglns? No? We'll, Pm staggered. What is your namep Won't say, eh? Oh, it doesn't matter much. I know your trouble. When man suffers like you from wind"
 At this stage I opened the door, whistled to my faithful canine Pinch, and said "Git!" He got free of tho front door just in time to leave sec- tion of pant cloth with Pinch as me- mento of his visit. He did not even stop to put back the phials he had un- loaded into the box, but as soon as he had just safe distance between him. self and danger, he turned round and shouted out something to the effect that Buncake's Omni-curem was the best remedy in the world for liver complaint, dyspepsia and wind, but it drew the line at ignorance, which suffered from acutely, though I had dyspepsia as bad as most people, but was too senseless to know it without being told. On examination, found the phials he had left behind contained nothing more harmless than weak tea.

 He put the rifle against a tree, but somehow couldn't take good aim, and while he was trying to get down closer, he touched the trig- ger. Bang went the gun, and with an awful Hopping the red gobbler fell with his head shot of, and in min- ute Bills pain was gone. The gob- bier was so heavy it was as much as Bill could do to drag him home, but he got there after while. It was dark when he got home, and being afraid that he might scare his mother and sister he went into the kitchen and picked the gobbler. and when he got through he piled all the red feathers up in corner. Then he put the tur- key on table and went in to tell his mother and sister, and he found them sitting by the fire, laughing, without any pains in their breasts. 'I have killed the red gobbler," cried Bill, and his mother said "Oh, me w and his sis ter said "Oh, myw Then he took them out in the kitchen, and when they had looked on the table, instead of finding a gobbler they found a whole lot of silk dresses, and when they looked for the red feathers they found a big pile of gold.
 That night the mean man took a pain in his breast and died, and Bill and his mother lived long time and were happy, and that's all.

The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hood's
Sarsaprilla are sufficient proof that
this medicine does possess peculiar
curative power. In the severest cases
Of scrofula or salt rheum, when other
preparations had been powerless. the
happiest results. The case of Miss.
Sarah c. Whittier Of Lowell, Mass,
who suffered terribly from scrofulous
sores; that of Charles A. Roberts, OF
East Wilson, N. Y, who had thirteen
abcesses on his face and neck; that
Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass. who
had hip disease and scrofula so bad
that physicians said he could not re-
cover, are few of the many instances
in which wonderful cures were effec
ted by this medicine.
